Hi @Thennarasu_R ,

Waterfall charts in Power BI show a running total as values are added and subtracted. These charts are useful for understanding how an initial value is affected by a series of positive and negative changes. If you want to show down bar and up with positive value in waterfall visual when only have the positive values, you need to add a dummy category with a negative value to the data. The detailed steps as below:

  1. Add a new column to your data table and name it "Dummy Category".
  2. Fill the column with a negative value, such as -0.1.
  3. Add the "Dummy Category" column to the Category bucket in the Waterfall visual.
  4. Hide the "Dummy Category" column from the visual.

Best Regards
